TRIBUNE
A 23-year-old man, Ahmed Oyekola, who allegedly killed his grandfather and uncle in Ibadan during the week was arraigned at the Chief Magistrates Court 8, Iyaganku, Ibadan, on Thursday, September 12 on one count charge of murder.
The suspect reportedly confessed to killing his grandfather and uncle, saying that he had yet to understand the evil spirit that got into him to behave the way he did.
He was said to have disclosed that he entered his grandpa’s room and rummaged it to pick things when the old man asked who it was because he couldn’t see him. He was said to have given other details:
“He thought his grandfather was sleeping. When he saw that he had been caught in the act, he picked a pillow and used it to suffocate Pa Oyekola, killing him instantly.
“When his uncle, who was in his room, heard the commotion and tried to get up to see what was happening, Ahmed rushed at him and hit him with power bank in the mouth, injuring his lips and chin.
“He made sure that his uncle also died and left the house with a small carton in which he put the Jalamiyah and Ankara that he stole from his grandfather’s room,” a credible source told Saturday Tribune.
The Chief Magistrate, Mrs I.O. Osho, ordered the remand of the accused at Agodi prisons, pending legal advice from the Director of Public Prosecution.
